An hour-by-hour account of the fighting by US troops.
After a career in the French army, Paul Gaujac became dedicated to his second vocation as a military historian. He is the author of a number of books, including: Le débarquement de Provence, Le CEF en Italie, L’amée française 1943-1956, and Les troupes coloniales dans la Campagne de France.
